It is a common strategy in business to use instability to slip in something new that you’re sure of but think higher ups won’t approve of. When everything restabilizes it’s a lot harder to see the impact of the new thing when it’s already been fully integrated into the new equilibrium. Thus it is entirely plausible that this is the case for Stoneforge.

If a format is at relative equilibrium, then an unban of this level could have a destabilizing effect…but since they’re already destabilizing the format, that risk is mitigated, to an extent.
